Is this a NO-GO question on a UK site?
I am planning on spending a june weekend walking in the forrests and am looking for a nice place where I could spend some nights inside one.
Any tips / experiences are welcome.

Bob,
I do not find it's a no-go question because it's a UK site. This is a valid question for everyone who wants to go out and camp / bushcraft in NL. Just as there were questions about Germany and (?) Slovakia a few weeks a go.
You must bear in mind though that wild camping in NL is prohibited (normally stated in local rules & regulations, such as
Algemene Plaatselijke Verordening - APV).
As wild camping is prohibited in NL, we can't give tips on the subject
on the forum, as it would breach forum rules.
I would go for Joeri's option as it is the only legal option (besides asking a landowner) you've got overhere. Although you could go for an ordinary camping with showers, toilets, camp store, parking lot, swimming pool, etc.

EDIT: If you decide to go to a
Paalkampeerplaats, I suggest you go to the ones near Breda. If you have a look at link I gave you above you'll find more info about them. The Breda ones (of the top of my head about 4-5 locations, which are on walking distance from each other) are on a map (type and number on the website) - the map is available at Donner (bookshop), in the basement - at the back, in Rotterdam for aprx. 5-7 Euro.
